For Guangdong students and their parents, studying in Singapore has many benefits. Besides having identical culture, close proximity in terms of geography, the cost is also lower than those of US and UK. China students have started going to Singapore to study since kindergarten, with many more studying in Singapore government schools (primary and secondary) in recent years. According to estimates by industry players, there are more than 10,000 China students studying in Singapore's Primary and Secondary Schools now. However, selection is more stringent in the publicly funded universities in Singapore. In Singapore, only the five polytechnics and the three publicly-funded universities (SMU, NUS and NTU) are recognised by China's education ministry.
